I was not planning on getting any performance mods in until mid next year. However, i could not pass on a deal for the intake and pulleys. I bought them off a friend who is selling his car and had these and a few other replacement parts awaiting installation.
We installed the intake on Thursday and i have only driven the car for less than 50km since that. The car is now at Octane for the coilover installation, firmware/software updates and another oil change. First impressions on the intake, im happy the intake is a direct fit, no funny business. Also, it uses the stock airbox and if one were to glance at the engine bay you wont notice any difference. The filter is a high flow filter and the charge pipe leading to the plenum is smoother and slightly larger allowing more/smoother flow of air into the plenum.

The Pulley kit, i have kept away for next year. I dont really plan to install it but i guess its a good to have should i plan to change it.
